Micro Lens Arrays (MLAs) and Grey-Scale Photolithography

Gain a comprehensive grasp of MLAs’ impact on function and performance, as we examine their ability to finely control light emission and distribution, optimizing energy efficiency and illumination quality. Discuss real-world applications and use cases that harness the power of MLAs, from architectural projects to industrial environments.

Discover how the integration of MLAs into lighting design has enabled a wide range of new lighting products with complex light distributions and luminaire geometries. In addition, as MLAs enable sleeker/thinner form factors, their implementation has led to more sustainable practices through waste reduction. Delve into the value of quick-turn engineering iterations and testing within the design process enabled by grey-scale photolithographic production tooling methods.

Attendees should have a basic understanding of lighting design and the application space.
